Restore credibility in electoral processes

The debate on the suitability of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct the next polls has occupied national conversation in recent days.

This is likely to remain so as the nation inches closer to the 2017 polls. Last week, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) joined the fray, calling for far-reaching reforms to restore public confidence in the electoral process.
The Opposition insists IEBC commissioners must vacate office because they lack the credibility to conduct free and fair elections.
